Click on <img src="res/icon_settings.png"
title="Settings Tab" /> in the toolbar or in the main menu to
show the settings window. Here you can adjust the Display and plotter behavior
to your (machine's) needs.
</p>
<p>
Following options are available:
<h3><img src="res/set_display.png" alt="Display" /> Display</h3>
<dl>
<dt>Color Theme</dt>
<dd>Here you can select one from several color themes.</dd>

<dt>Grid Intensity</dt>
<dd>Here you can adjust how more or less opaque the grid will be drawn.
Lower values let the grid appear more translucent.</dd>

<dt>Font</dt>
<dd>This will adjust the font, which is used for the axis
descriptionin the Plotter View Window.</dd>


<dt>Render Process</dt>
<dd>You can enable Hardware Accelerated Rendering (through Open GL)
by enabling this check box.
Depending on your video card this can improve the plotting speed
and even quality. However on old, outdated cards this
Open GL Rendering will not work properly or not at all.</dd>

<dt>Function Tab Colors</dt>
<dd>Here you can adjust the color palette used for
function graphs and tabs.
Click on a color cell to change the according tab's color.</dd>
</dl>

<h3><img src="res/set_plotter.png" alt="Plotter" /> Plotter</h3>
<dl>
<dt>Plot Precision</dt>
<dd><p>
This adjusts the plot density along the X-axis. A value of 0
means, that one function result is calculated for each pixel.
Values lower than 0 would mean that only every n pixels
function results are calculated and the gaps between these
key pixels are interpolated.
This increases the plot performance, however function graphs
are drawn with less precision.
</p>
<p>
Values higher than 0 would mean even between pixels
several function results are calculated, however due to the
pixel drawing operations, there is only a slight
improvement in the plot precision, while plot speed suffers.
</p></dd>

<dt>Y Axis Stretch</dt>
<dd>This sets the Y-X axis scale ratio. By default this ratio is 1:1,
which means function graphs will not be vertically stretched.
However if you enter a value larger than 1, the Y- axis
(including the function graphs) will be vertically stretched by
this factor.</dd>

<dt>Restrict View Range</dt>
<dd>Here you can specify an interval of the X-axis in which
Crispy Plotter will draw function graphs. For example
if you enter -1 for the left border and +1 for the right border,
then all functions graphs are only drawn within this range.</dd>

<dt>Fast Zoom/Scroll Preview</dt>
<dd>When this option is enabled, Crispy Plotter will switch to a
faster Preview like Plot displaying, while in Zoom or Scroll mode.
Plotting multiple functions at a high Plot precision requires
a machine with a strong CPU. On slower machines this can
cause slow downs. However enabling the Fast Zoom/Scroll Preview
option can remedy this quite well.</dd>

<dt>Smooth Zoom/Scroll</dt>
<dd>If enabled, zooming and scrolling will be smoothly animated.
This will only affect scrolling with the cursor
keys and zooming with
<span class="key" style="height: 16px;">+</span>,
<span class="key" style="height: 16px;">-</span> and
<img src="res/mousew.gif" title="Mouse Wheel" />.</dd>
</dl>
<h3><img src="res/set_misc.png" alt="Miscellaneous" /> Miscellaneous</h3>
<dl>
<dt>Language</dt>
<dd>Select here your desired language.</dd>

<dt>Workspace Location</dt>
<dd>Make the folder, you prefer for storing function
files, to your workspace location here.</dd>

<dt>Scroll Speed</dt>
<dd>Adjust the scroll speed here. This will affect only scrolling with the
cursor keys.</dd>

<dt>Zoom Speed</dt>
<dd>Here you can adjust the sensitivity of the zoom. Note that
this will affect all types of zooming operations.</dd>

<dt>Reset Settings</dt>
<dd>Click on this button, to reset all settings to default
values. Default settings are also active, when you
start Crispy Plotter for the first time.</dd>
